Publisher Notes
Living in a high mountain village in Ethiopia, Menelik, a young Ethiopian Jew, and his family are confronted with life-threatening oppression and persecution, and his father decides to lead the family on a perilous odyssey in search of sanctuary in Israel.
Media Reviews
"The narrative is both dramatic and lyrical....scratchboard illustrations...are vividly delineated by fine white curves and hatch marks on the black background. The effect is quite striking: The pictures look like negatives of etchings. A handsome work."
Synopses
An Ethiopian Jewish family leaves their oppressed mountain village to make a difficult and treacherous journey in the hope of reaching freedom in Israel.
